BKK → GAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic perspective of the rugged Indo-Burman Ranges and, on clear days during the final descent, a stunning distant panorama of the snow-capped Eastern Himalayas.

Dawna Range
The jagged limestone peaks and dense tropical forests marking the border between Thailand and Myanmar.
Salween River
The deep, narrow gorges carved by one of the longest free-flowing rivers in Southeast Asia.
Arakan Mountains
The imposing north-south mountain arc that separates the central Myanmar basin from the coast.
Chin Hills
High-altitude ridges and deep valleys known for their unique biodiversity and remote villages.
Eastern Himalayan Horizon
In the final 30 minutes of flight, look north to see the distant snow-capped giants of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh.
The right side is the premium choice for mountain lovers. For the best chance to see the Himalayas, book a flight arriving in Guwahati before noon when the air is clearest. In winter (November–February), the atmosphere is significantly less hazy, offering the best visibility of the distant peaks. Keep your camera ready during the descent as the plane aligns with the Brahmaputra valley.

Bangkok Skyline
Bird's eye view of the Chao Phraya River and the sprawling urban density of Bangkok immediately after departure.
Irrawaddy Delta
The intricate network of distributaries and fertile green plains of the Ayeyarwady region in Myanmar.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
The winding coastline of the Chittagong Division and the vast estuaries where the rivers meet the sea.
Sylhet Tea Gardens
The rolling green hills and geometric patterns of the famous tea estates in northeastern Bangladesh.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, braided channels of the Brahmaputra as the flight enters the Assam valley.
Choose the left side for better views of the expansive river systems and coastal plains. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without glare. During the monsoon season (June–September), expect heavy cloud cover over the delta regions, making landmarks harder to spot.
